Protect you and your family

The flu season usually runs from November to April with an estimated 10-25 per cent of people infected each year and the virus can cause serious illness. Every year, hundreds of BC residents, mostly seniors, die from flu-related illness. Others may suffer a mild illness but risk passing the virus on to someone else who may become seriously ill.

The best way to protect yourself and your friends and family is to get a flu shot.

On November 21, join the conversation and get your questions answered. Then get your flu shot to prevent the flu from spreading!
